If so I could do it, but I'd rather have a second opinion first. /Torbjörn Stabo

Gamespot's files are there primarily because EA didn't feel like making a stink about enforcing their legal copyright on the episode files. Gamespot either applied some "creative interpretation" as to the limited-time nature of the episode 2-7 files, or they're too lazy/incompetent to remove the files from their servers. (I could buy any of the above without much effort on the part of anyone inclined to argue the point, to be honest; GS doesn't terribly impress me, overall.) Unlike trademarks, copyright isn't "use it or lose it", and exists regardless of whether or not the copyrighted work is readily available, currently offered for sale, or any of the other common excuses warezers offer to try to justify being scumbags.

They don't require a download manager. That's optional.
